I agree! Carl's Junior is quite different in terms of style and all. I think it's totally imported from the States or something, with the huge servings and all. Great for huge eaters! But it's definitely not a good choice for dining if you're on a budget. It's slightly more expensive than other fast food restaurants and you're not paying for much service nor ambience.
But there are some places where you have to try before you know whether you like it or not. And if you're looking for a fast food that's slightly different (with free flow of drinks), I would recommend Carl's too! :)
I was never really into Black Forest cakes, but after I tried the Black Forest cake from Secret Recipe, I have to say it's one of the nicer cakes I've ever had! So, I decided to go for dessert at Secret Recipe after dinner one day. I've tried Chocolate Banana and Mango Delight.
I must say Black Forest and Chocolate Banana are highly recommended cakes! There is a tasty chocolate layer on the cake that does not taste too rich and won't make you get sick of it so easily. The banana slices are huge slices buried within layers of the cake. What's good is that the taste of the banana is not covered by the chocolate and the bananas used are really sweet. As for the Mango Delight, the mango slices within the cake are the sweet and delicious mango, unlike other cakes that use half riped or sour mangoes.
Although I haven't tried the other cakes, but from the looks of it, the other cakes seem not bad too! Definitely a good place for desserts!
Gramophone is a little like HMV. Another major music store vying for the same group of consumers. Just like HMV, they have a whole collection of music CDs and videos of different genres. The atmosphere of the shop is very different from HMV. It gives a less commercialized feeling than HMV and, with all the dark-grained wooden furniture plus jazz or classical music they play most of the time, it gives the place a rather comfortable yet classy feel.
Plus I made a new discovery today (perhaps this has been out for awhile already)! Gramophone does rentals of movies now (maybe HMV does also?) and they reach out to people of different races in Singapore as they have not just English and Chinese movies, but quite a collection of Hindi movies as well! The price for movie rentals are about $5 per show, which is quite a fair price. Plus, with their wide variety of movies available, one is spoilt for choice! And for those interested in Bollywood movies, you can find quite a few good ones here.
Lemongrass is quite a popular Thai restaurant with quite a few outlets around the island. I like their string beans a lot. One of my favourite dish! But one thing about this outlet is that it is always packed during dinner time, mostly on weekends. Because of that, service is not as efficient and it takes a long time before the food is served.
Nonetheless, I would say this place is worth a try :)
The lobster linguine is highly recommended at all Coffee Club outlets.
Also, the muddy mud pie is quite a good item to try. The food there is great, and it's an excellent place to dine at for chocolate lovers! Why? Because their chocolate flavoured stuff are really rich in chocolate, I'm sure you'll love this place if you're a chocolate fanatic!
However, despite the great food, I won't say I'd leave this place smiling. Great food does not go with lousy service, especially when the people there tend to forget your order. I think that's the worst thing one taking orders can do.
